ADHD Summer Treatment Program

In addition to traditional therapeutic services, each summer in Erie County the agency offers the Summer Treatment Program (STP), which provides treatment for children, ages 6-12, with ADHD or similar disorders. The STP uses a combination of behavior modification techniques, recreation, art, and parent education based on the model developed by Dr. William Pelham (SUNY Buffalo). The ultimate goal is to help each individual child learn coping skills to succeed at home, in school, and in the community.

This program is offered at two sites in Erie County for eight weeks every summer:

• Villa Maria Academy, Erie, PA

• Edinboro University, Edinboro, PA

• STP Erie Brochure ages 6-12 (3.17 MB)

• STP Erie Brochure ages 13-16 (3.19 MB)

• STP Application (25.85 KB)

The program is also offered at a site in Crawford County for six weeks:

• Allegheny College, Meadville, PA

• STP Crawford Brochure ages 6-12 (3.15 MB)

• STP Crawford Application (25.84 KB)

Summer Treatment Program (STP) Outcomes

Of STP families surveyed for 2008, 100 percent of families reported being satisfied or very satisfied with overall services provided. And 95 percent reported being satisfied or very satisfied with the effectiveness of treatment and help that STP provided to families.
